The best cannolis in Ottawa? Dolci Sapori makes a case

• Name + address: Dolci Sapori, 939 Somerset St. W.

From the husband and wife team that steered Simply Biscotti on Preston comes a new Italian bakery that may soon become one of your favourites in Ottawa.

Dolci Sapori brings a broad palette of European pastries to Little Italy in the location once occupied by the great (and long gone) Hung Sum Dim Sum. Based on my visit, this place is not going anywhere.

Love cannolis? All you need to remember is Dolci Sapori. I’ve eaten my share around town but this is the place that’s got the balance just right. No old oil taste to the shell and nothing but fresh sweet ricotta cream with delicious pistachio to the filling. My number one cannoli in the city.

It wasn’t always this way, but Ottawa is riding a wave of culinary talent in a variety of disciplines, and pastries are part of the parade.

The crew here are professionally trained, and their products reflect their training. These are fresh and beautifully imagined treats that will satisfy your guests in every way. If you’re planning a dinner party Dolci Sapori will meet your needs with a large selection of cakes and other pastries.
